    Default Misfiring...

    well i recently had my motor rebuilt and its been running great but the Check engine light is now blinking, i immediately took it to AZ and it threw codes for misfire on all 4 cylinders...

    i changed out the plugs yet ithe light is still blinking...any information? im not driving the car until i can get this figured out...im going to do the basics (cap/rotor/wires) and see where it goes from there...

    the o2 sensor is unplugged but i dont think this would cause misfiring?

    could timing be off? could the belt jumped a tooth? idk any help is greatly appreciated...

    is that because its misfiring or because your license is revoked?

    Either way, good call , lawl

    02 wont cause misfiring. to me it seems like timing has gone off. but like you said try doing the basic/cheap stuff first. and see what happens.

    I would think the timing would be the cheapest, since you really don't have to spend any money, unless you check ignition timing too where a gun is involved...

    by timing you mean taking off valve cover , setting the motor to TDC (what mark is it on the crank?) and checking the cams?

    yup, crank pulley white mark on the lower timing cover mark and the cam sprockets both point up with the exhaust 3 o clock mark pointing to the intake 9 o clock mark.

    my accord was missfiring, it just turned out to be the sparkplug wires, did you get a chance to change yours out yet?

    yes , there was a code for the o2 sensor and 7 codes for misfire...

    i just changed the oil since it has been 500 miles on the new motor , took it high rpm past vtec around ~7k and the light is not blinking anymore....still going to change wires cap, rotor and check timing

    No Mo Hondas has asked you more than once what were the exact codes. Yet you post up what you have. Appearently, you have no desire to get it fixed the correct way, yet you want an immediate, yet simple fix. All you have to do is post up ALL 7 CODES and win a prize!!! Seriously, every code has something to do with each other, especially if there's a camshaft correlation code. Plese post the codes.

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    have you used a timing light to see where the ignition timing is?

    there is only 4 codes for misfire...when i go to AZ again ill be sure to write them down...its a random/rapid misfire...

    it started misfiring about ~400 miles into the break in period...the wires were the ****tiest wires i had ever seen , they wouldnt even clip on the plugs...the rotor screw was not even on...it was chilling at the top of the distributor and i saw corrosion on the cap so i thought surely that would fix it...


    i took it for a drive this morning and the CEL was not blinking but the motor was not fully warmed up...so maybe a valve adjustment?

    oh the light does not blink ALL the time , it will blink like 4-5 times every 10 min

    That what it means when the check engine light is flashing. You already did the most obvious troubleshooting. It honestly sound like a piston ring or something. Don't quote me but that just my 2 cents could be wrong.

    What is your setup?????

    motor has new crank , rods , bearings , piston rings , headgasket , oil pump and all the gaskets/seals...

    only thing internally i can think of is the valves not adjusted properly causing a messed up AF/R, which the o2 sensor isnt already fukking up...its a brand new bosch 200$ o2 sensor...just dont know the wiring...and being colorblind doesnt help

    i guess ill compression/leak test?

    gunna seafoam it today , see if it helps any...

    CEL can mean MULTIPLE things not just one particular problem. A Piston ring isnt going to set a CEL. A piston ring collapse will produce smoke out the tail pipe.

    This is true. and lets not overlook the fact it ran perfect for 400 miles , and the misfire is not like the engine stumbling or anything.

    You are right muiltiple of things. To determine whether a rings is collapse or not isnt smoke out the tail pipe either.

    Yes it could. I am not the most technical person. I wouldnt make up nothing either.Everything I said is from experience.


    Just comp test then work from there.

    copied from a member who posted in my thread on H-T

    are there any other codes? when does the code come on? during vtec? idle? normal driving?

    per Helms, possible causes:

    Fuel pump insufficient fuel pressure, amount of flow
    fuel line clogging, blockage, leakage
    fuel filter clogging
    fuel pressure regulator stuck open
    distributor malfunction
    ignition coil wire open/leakage
    ignition control module malfunction
    valves carbon deposit
    compression low
    IAC vavle malfunction
    Fast idle thermo valve malfunction
    fuel does not meet owners manual spec, lack of fuel
    VTEC system malfunction

    test procedures and more info on page 11-78 of the integra manual
